All the pictures had all been washed in black, tattooed everything

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life /

I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky /

But why, why, why can't it be /

Oh, can't it be mine?

--Pearl Jam, "Black"

 

 

"The song is about letting go... I've heard it said that you can't really have a true love unless it was a love unrequited. It's a harsh one, because then your truest one is the one you can't have forever."

--Eddie Vedder, on "Black"
